I decided to get as good as I can at billiards.
And I got pretty darn good.
I could get a lot better if I practiced more,
but I'm lazy,
so I try to get by with
the least possible amount of effort.
That's not a winning attitude, of course,
so I decided to develop the Optimum Practice routine
that would give me the maximum results
with the minimum effort.
I have been building this Optimum Practice
routine for about 4 years,
and it has been working very well.
You might call it the
Lazy Man's Path to Success.
In May of 2007
I decided that a key element in this
Optimum Practice routine
must be a Practice Assistant.
Over the next 9 months I developed
the concept of a Practice Assistant
and set out to find and train such a person.
And just two days ago,
Dave, the world's first Billiards Practice Assistant,
started to work at FastMikie's Fun House.
After last night's Optimum Practice session #2,
it is clearly delivering immediate results,
and yet there are many improvements
which can be made to the process,
leading to even better results.
That got me to thinking
that this process I have built applies to
all sorts of human endeavors
which require practice.
And then,
my entrepreneurial mind takes over...

It's a classic joke:
A tourist in New York City
asks a man walking by with a violin case:
"How do I get to Carnegie Hall?"
The musician says:
"Practice, man... practice."
To get better at anything,
practice is essential.
But, there is practice,
the way you are doing it now,
and then there is Optimum Practice.
Results of Optimum Practice will be
double or triple
what ordinary practice will bring,
at a minimum.
The best part is that these results begin
immediately.
One of the primary goals of practice
is to increase muscle memory,
and that requires going through the motions.
For a pool player,
Optimum Practice
delivers at least twice as many shots
in the same amount of practice time.
Therefore results are guaranteed to double.
But wait! There's more...
(the voice in my head is W.C. Fields, selling knives on late-night TV)
Optimum Practice
includes graphic feedback on your results
and identifies areas needing more focus.
Optimum Practice
is the trademark name
for a methodology
which brings together many disciplines
in a unique way
and uses the internet
to leverage even more results.
Optimum Practice
brings cutting edge technology
to power your practice sessions.
This Optimum Practice website
will become a wonderland of resources to
help you improve your practice sessions.

It was at this point that I thought:
"I wonder if that website address is available?"
So I went to GoDaddy.com
to check it out,
and sure enough, it was,
so I got it, of course,
because by now I've already spent the first
hundred million from this new business adventure,
so what's a mere ten bucks for a URL?
OK, now I'm back on planet Earth,
and realize that taking Optimum Practice global
is going to take a lot of work,
and I remember that I'm lazy,
so I'm thinking that I probably won't
change the world after all...
Then, in a flash of genius, (duh)
I remember that it was my being lazy
that created the need for
Optimum Practice
in the first place!
It's the Great Circle of Life.
Stay tuned...
